I purchased two of these cages, one for my home and one for my parents' home when I take the kittens along with me for a visit. I have had them for 4 months. I use them as a barricade in doorways and hallways to keep my two kittens in certain parts of the house. The cage was fairly easy to assemble, but I did have trouble figuring out how to orient the clips at the seams. Once I mastered the orientation, I was able to place the clips in a short period of time. I will say, I had to use some muscle to snap the clips into place. My father, who is much stronger than me, was very helpful for this task.
The cage is very sturdy, easy to move, and stays where you leave it. I have only wooden floors, so I can't speak to the ease of movement on carpeted floors, although I imagine that it would take slightly more effort to move the cage. The doors are very easy to open and close. I find that two hands work best when rolling the cage, and I am able to move the cage with one hand into its exact desired position in the hall or doorway. The doors are very secure and are easy to open and close. When I received my kittens at 2.5 months old, they were unable to jump from one level to the next, so I placed boxes turned upside down on the lower two levels. This enabled the kittens to easily leap from level to level, and at 3 months old they no longer needed the boxes. Now that they are six months old, my two kittens fit easily on each shelf. Even when they are adult-sized, they will fit easily on the same shelf.
I leave the bottom door open so the kittens can freely come and go, but I leave the top two doors closed so they don't jump from a high level. They play and sleep in the cage throughout the day, and usually stay on the top level to look out windows or to have the higher perspective that cats like to have. They really like being in the cage, and I don't have any problem containing them in the cage because they walk right in as I approach the cage. A small litter box fits nicely under the middle shelf, which is helpful if I want to contain the kittens while I am out. I also purchased, from a pet supply store, two stainless steel bowls for food and water, with flexible bowl frames to attach the bowls to the side of the cage.
The cage is easy to clean. I can wipe the shelves easily, but since I use bath towels on each level, I just need to vacuum up the litter from their paws that accumulates under the towel. I use a hand-held vacuum with the detail pointed attachment to clean the bottom level for the litter that accumulates within the cage base next to the plastic shelf.
I highly recommend this cage. It is sturdy, safe, easy to clean, fun for the kittens, and convenient for me to flexibly contain them in the house.

Works well for my cat on the deck ... with a couple mods
IRIS 3-Tier Wire Cat CagePurchased this about 2 months ago and am using on the deck with some easy modifications. It has not rusted yet, although it is made for inside use, I believe. Others have commented on putting it together ...it's a trip but once you learn how to use the joiners, it's great, although I've already forgotten how to do it. Anyway it is holding up well, but I replaced the loose plastic trays with a heavy rubber welcome mat, cut in half to fit on each shelf, and one whole welcome mat that lays across the top, to provide shade. I drilled holes in the plastic tray on the bottom for rain water drainage. I use a fleece pad on each shelf, that I bring out and take in with the kitty (rubber pad would be a little harsh). It took a little while for her to adjust but now she likes it and "asks" to go out throughout the day. I have no litter pan in there because she stays out for short periods of time, no more than an hour and a half at a time. I sit out there often with her and our dog because it's a great deck that looks out on a metro park and there are a lot of birds and wildlife. I'm attaching pics of the IRIS and of the pads that I use. This "catio" can be pushed around easily on the deck because of the castors. My cat is only 6.2 pounds; she uses all 3 shelves avoiding or seeking sun and shade, but seems to like the top shelf best.
